Nobody seems to make British WW1 snipers, any reason I couldn't use these? link |

From my readings on the subject, Ghillie suits were adopted reasonably early on by British snipers (although our snipers generally lagged behind the Germans in terms of training and optics for the first year or two), so I would have thought you could. The designs were probably more basic than those WW2 models, but not substantially different. "Sniping in the Great War" by Martin Pegler is very good on this sort of thing, but there are a surprising number of books on the subject. |

ABSOLUTE "yea" from me. I picked up a set of these last year at H-Con for this exact reason. |

I ordered them! Thanks! Should I "nip the tip" of the SMLE? |

Yes, nip the muzzles. Those are great-looking figures ! |

The Warlord Games figures will be fine. Great War Miniatures make a nice sniper: link Robert |
